Two martinis, a swank restaurant, a Broadway show President Obama really knows how to treat a First Lady.
"I am taking my wife to New York City because I promised her during the campaign that I would take her to a Broadway show after it was all finished," the president said yesterday after touching down at JFK for an intimate night on the town.
The first couple left their girls, Sasha and Malia, behind at the White House yesterday afternoon, taking two helicopters and a small Air Force jet to make their way to Manhattan.
The Obamas were dressed to the nines -- Michelle in a sleeveless, black cocktail dress adorned with fringe, a pair of low, strappy heels and a turquoise clutch; and the president in a dark suit and white shirt, no tie.
The first stop after touch ing down at JFK was a meal at a low-key, but elegant, Greenwich Village restau rant, Blue Hill, which boasts farm fresh, locally grown dishes.
Obamas were tucked into an out-of-the- way corner table where they enjoyed a multi- course feast specially prepared by the chef. They washed down the fine fare with wine, said a fellow diner, who also no ticed Michelle re laxing with a cou ple of martinis.
Photographers were kept blocks away be hind barri cades for the first couple's privacy.
"We left them alone the entire night," said Blue Hill diner Rachael Levit, of Manhattan. "Nobody asked for autographs or took any pictures. They were laughing and talking and seemed like they had a genuinely good time."
Snip
Then it was up to Broadway, where they had tickets at the Belasco Theatre for "Joe Turner's Come and Gone," a play by August Wilson about a man coming to terms with the history of slavery.

Nero and Mrs. Nero on date night.
Wasn’t there some controversy when the CEO’s of the Big Three flew into Washington DC on their private jets? I don’t believe that was for the purpose of going on a date.
Do as I say not as I do.
Shades of Clinton all over again.
Regardless of the blunders President George W. Bush made during his presidency, he always brightened up when in company of his charming wife Laura.
Is that a recent picture of the couple in New York? Zero looks completely unpresidental.
If Bush did even a sliver of what Osbama does, like golf 18 on Memorial Day, there would be scathing articles on him.
two martinis and wine? she must be a nasty - not a happy- drunk.
“We left them alone the entire night,” said Blue Hill diner Rachael Levit, of Manhattan. “Nobody asked for autographs or took any pictures. They were laughing and talking and seemed like they had a genuinely good time.”
I could have a very good time on less than a million dollars.
We the people are the only ones that are expected to sacrifice. They all screamed years ago when George Bush would take a legitimate vacation, yet this dope wastes the tax payers money for dinner and a show.
Naturally. What else is there?
So how many of our tax dollars were spent getting Big Zero and Blackie-O up to NYC? And were they buzzing lower Manhattan on the way in?
Who’s tending her Victory Garden at the WH??
Pray for America and Our Troops
Just imagine the outrage if that were the Bushes instead of the RockHeads.....the economy is in a mess, this idiot has put us in a debt hole so deeeep we’ll never get out of it and he and his partner in crime take two helicopters and a plane to nyc for date night....aaaaah, the hypocrisy is breathtaking.....
“...they had tickets at the Belasco Theatre for “Joe Turner’s Come and Gone,” a play by August Wilson about a man coming to terms with the history of slavery.”
It always has to be about what’s wrong with America, or with race. Guess they are both nostaligic for the good old day’s at Rev Wright’s church.
Wonder what else he promised her (and kids) when the election was over. This could go on for years. Let’s just hope he didn’t promise them queen and princess titles.
“It always has to be about what’s wrong with America, or with race.”
...yep, that’s the mantra that gets him the votes from self-hating white liberals....that’s how he turned the ballot into a race card.
It would have cost less for the entire cast of the show to be brought to the white house for a private show.
And for the price of that dinner, they could have fed 100,000 starving African children for a month.
Did anybody tell Michelle that you don’t wear $500.00 sneakers with an evening gown?
“She looks miserable.”
So does he. Just goes to show you that a million dollar date, paid for by the American taxpayer, cannot buy happiness! LOL!
Sounds like a depressing play!
